How much credit does Russell Wilson deserve for the Steelers’ success last week?
The Pittsburgh Steelers certainly got a good game out of Russell Wilson versus the New York Jets. But they already had a successful offense with Justin Fields, and one that was getting better. The offense had different strengths and weaknesses accordingly, but that’s neither a good nor bad thing.
While Wilson threw for 264 yards, mostly in the second half, he did benefit from his playmakers. You always need your receivers and backs to make plays for you, but, for example, George Pickens arguably turned would-be incompletions into explosive plays.
